To measure an event and count each user only once per day (i.e., each user is counted a single time per day, regardless of how many times they performed the event that day), you should use the "Unique Users" measurement with a daily interval in Mixpanel.Here's how you can do this in Mixpanel Insights: 1. Create an Insights report. 2. Select the event you want to measure. 3. Set the time interval to "Day". 4. **Change the measurement to "Unique Users".**This setup will count each user only once per day, even if they perform the event multiple times on that day. For example, if a user performs the event three times on the same day, they will still only be counted once for that day.This approach is described in the documentation:
"Unique Users: The number of users who performed [event] or are a part of the cohort. Example: What’s the count of users who watched a video?" "Daily Active Users (DAU): The number of users who performed [event] within the last 24 hours. Example: What’s the count of users who watched a video on the last day?"
Insights: UsersBy using the "Unique Users" measurement with a daily interval, you achieve exactly the behavior you described.
